1T is now said that the young woman
who wants to marry Spies, the Chicago
condemned anarchist, Is an old maid who
has despaired of securing q husband to
such an extent that she assumed eye
glasses, as well as airs of superior intel
lectuality. 1t is also said she was classed
among the strong-mlnded, who aired the
views regarding the oppression Of the fe-
male by the male. If this be so she should
be allowed to marry Spies, and he should
be pardoned and forced to live with her rs
punishment for his crimes.
